Balenciaga Fall 2025: A More Approachable New ‘Standard’

Penn Championship 0.682 Tennis Balls

It’s a rare fashion season when you can cross-reference Balenciaga and Stella McCartney, two Paris runway shows that tackled office wear in very different ways, while both arriving at a sexy secretary archetype. Demna’s wears higher, pointier heels with her denim pencil skirt, and a tight white shirt with a built-in corset, laced all the way up the back. To run out for Starbucks coffee or an Erewhon smoothie on a chilly day, she can throw on a lightweight pink puffer with bustier detailing and a fuzzy, face-hiding hood. Meanwhile, men’s business suits can be pristine, moth-eaten, or horribly wrinkled as if slept in through several ultra long-haul flights. There were hardcore moments in this Balenciaga show, but fewer than in the past, and a less bombastic set: A maze of tall black curtains sheltering tight rows of chairs, meaning VICs had to tuck in their feet, shod in gigantic Platform and 10XL sneakers, or risk tripping the models as they whisked by at breakneck speed.

Other than the squishy, low-tech shoes and some skimpy Spandex “swim dresses,” this collection saw Demna largely treading water with his familiar clothing archetypes across streetwear, tailoring and special-occasion dressing, albeit with more controlled volumes. “I wanted to include everything I love,” he said in a backstage scrum, held in another narrow black corridor. The designer titled his collection “Standard” to connote a focus on mostly “banal” garments, their standard fits twisted “into a fashion context,” according to the show notes. Hence, logo T-shirts stamped Standard were roughly hacked away to become the kind of barely-there gym tops bodybuilders wear.

One white double-face cashmere coat with a built-in scarf collar felt like the quiet luxury Demna usually rebels against. Peak-lapel wool coats for men sprouting hoods felt more on-brand. Quarter-zip sweaters were worn back-to-front, giving another striking face-framing effect and echoing the zippered décolletage house founder Cristóbal Balenciaga made for Bunny Mellon. Meanwhile, the tracksuits and activewear felt standard-issue Demna, and less oversized than usual and therefore more approachable. During the scrum, the designer allowed that his fall collection was sexier than usual, a register he started flirting with for spring. “I feel better with myself, so I dare more to go into places where I haven’t been yet,” he said.

And that was my idea,” he said, confessing “she actually pierced me a little bit.”
